When I decided to replace my Dell Latitude X1 I was hard-pressed to find a laptop that would meet my needs for speed, portability and overall performance. My research led to the purchase of the Envy 13 with the fastest processor available and the 160 ...
All in all, this is the most amazing laptop I've bought, considering the size. It was able to cram in some serious stuff in there, and feels snappy. However, I would recommend the Envy 17 now that it has come out, CNET does not appear to have review yet, ...
The HP Envy 13 is truly one of the best laptops I have ever owned (I ordered mine thru the HP site with all the bells and whistles, you can always find an online coupon to bring the price down about $300 less if you look), it has everything I wanted exept ...

I bought two of these for employees at work. I prefer the basic Apple models, which I have, for $1000, and it performs much better, better battery, and integrated disc drive. This model has a separate disc drive, which is not as good, and today the hard ...
I love everything about my ENVY13 with two exceptions. 1. The cursor will inevitably jump all over the screen while typing. Even after changing the touchpad palm sensitivity and tappingsettings (as many troubleshooting blogs suggest), the cursor continues ...
i just bought it for kicks... well im not very impressed with it or the dre beets version compared to either my 13 inch mbp or my 15 inch mbp. it is by far a rip off and just plain horrible. i would not recomend this product to anyone. i would recomend a macbook pro or a newer sony pc....
NEVER AGAIN! From now on I build my own pc.
HP Envy 13 will not allow you to psynchronize with your iPhone. Envy 13 purchased November 2009, iPhone purchased December 2009. Will not sync via iTunes. Googled and it is a known issue and none of the vendors will accept responsibility. On the plus ...

HP Envy 13 Review: The MacBook Imitated Not Duplicated [Review] - Laptop Reviews...
Frankly, I could have done without the two-toned color scheme and the dotted etching on the palmrest, but neither detracts from the overall beautiful design of the Envy 13...And if you think I am just bad with my fingers, a number of people tried the trackpad and found the same problem...Not only are viewing angles good, but colors just pop and are incredibly bright...

Maximum PC | HP Envy 13 Review
Sylish, magnesium-alloy frame; excellent LED display; jet-fast benchmark performance....Expensive; mediocre battery life; no optical drive....Still, it lacks an optical drive, which the Toshiba R600 manages to accommodate, weighs a pound more than the R600, and doesn't have as good of a battery life, all of which are important considerations in an ultraportable notebook...Don't say "That's because windows is so bad"; compare a Mac running Windows and a PC running...

Great, Mac-like looks
Neat audio processing feature for headphones...Expensive
Annoying bloatware ads...Speaking of inappropriate uses of hardware, I've never had such a love-hate relationship with a touchpad since...the newer MacBook Pros, I guess...Good news, the optional extra battery can help out...This is a good machine for people that have money to burn......

Extra-bright 13-inch screen

Switchable...No onboard optical drive
VGA and LAN ports require external dongles

The Envy 13 also has switchable graphics...The newsletter contains links to our latest PC news, product reviews, features and how-to guides, plus special offers and competitions...Hunt around the Envy's smoothly contoured edges and you'll find just two USB ports, an HDMI socket, a single headphone socket - which like Apple's laptops, doubles as a microphone socket - and a card reader on the left flank...

HP Envy 13 review -- Engadget
Beautiful hardware design
High screen resolution
Solid battery life...Terrible trackpad
High price
External disc drive...At least there's nothing bad like a buzz coming off of the 1/8-inch plug as we've had with some shoddier laptops...So now you can take your "biased and bad review" of this review and do with it as you will...but please, don't be a hypocrite...Even better, it doesn't do too much damage to the thickness or weight of the laptop -- basically...
